January is National Radon Action Month ~ Will You Take Action This Month?

“What is Radon and why do you need to test for it?”

Radon is a radioactive gas that comes from the decay of naturally occurring radium and uranium in the earth. It is the second leading cause of lung cancer overall and the LEADING cause in non-smokers. The EPA estimates that as many as 21,000 lung cancer deaths a year are caused by radon. Radon is an odorless, tasteless and invisible gas produced by the decay of naturally occurring uranium in soil and water, so the only way to know if your home has a problem is to test for it. Radon is a form of ionizing radiation and a proven carcinogen. Lung cancer is the only known effect on human health from exposure to radon in air.
